Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktops, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most risk-free Operating Systems to choose from, since security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of well-experienced developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support via special mailing lists and respond in 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll enjoy top-notch support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you can modify both the core and all of the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you will not need to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS

You'll be able to pick the Debian Operating System with each virtual private server plan that we supply. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you will find on the order page, so you can select the one that is more suitable for the software that you would like to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either with no Control Panel or with our tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you'll be able to make use of the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be limited, yet you'll be able to control your web content via a web interface, not a console. In case you don't have much time to take care of your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have much experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our administrators will take care of the weekly OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Hosting

You can select the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with a mouse click on our order page and based on your choice, we will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will perform in the very best way. Selecting a server without any Control Panel, you will get Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to control everything using a console. A server which is obtained with our Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software which you may need for your sites. Though with the latter option the root access is restricted, you will be able to control the server as if it were a shared hosting account, so you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous experience with this kind of web hosting service. When you get our Managed Services upgrade, we will take care of your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis to ensure that you have the latest and most secure release.
